The discussion revolves around a humorous and skeptical take on a lifespan prediction quiz that participants have taken. Many express disbelief in the accuracy of the results, with comments suggesting that factors like pessimism, smoking, and BMI yield wildly varying predictions about life expectancy. Participants share their own results, often leading to playful banter about their supposed longevity, with some joking about needing to change their attitudes or habits to extend their lives. The conversation also touches on the absurdity of the quiz's implications, with users making light of the idea of "necromancy insurance" and the concept of being "dead but not knowing it." Overall, the thread highlights a mix of humor, skepticism, and camaraderie among users as they navigate the quirky nature of the quiz.

I just realized that, although my time has run out, it didn't say when it ran out. I wonder when I died?

It will tell you. I ran a few tests and it said I ran out, and it also said the date. For example, it told me that I ran out, and I died in Feb 2003.


edit... BMI seems to have no influence whatsoever.

So sad to hear of your untimely demise. If we had known, we surely would have had a thread about it. :frown:

That's very thoughtful of you, Evo. I would have announced it myself, but, of course, I didn't know either.

Aww, so sweet. :smile: Ok, I'll change my disposition to "optimistic" and live another 60 years. :-p

I am sure it came as quite a shock. So, what will you do, now that you're dead?

Yeah, ever since I watched the "Sixth Sense" I have checked to make sure I wasn't dead and didn't know it every day...

How would you know though? You could have died from something internal, like a heart attack or blood poisoning. Then could be dead for ages and not even know it.

I have thought about that...the easiest way to tell if you're dead is to see if the government is still collecting taxes...once I see that I am no longer being taxed then I will know that I am dead... :smile:

On income tax...pretty sure, unless you're privy to some kind of dead person income tax I wasn't made aware of. Crap...you mean to tell me I really could be dead... :cry:

I just don't see it. Why would they stop merely because you're dead?

Not so much, no. Just mildly surprising.
So, what will you do, now that you're dead?
I'll just continue with my usual posts in S&D, debunking ghosts and the afterlife.

Legally there is no way to collect taxes from a dead guy. There is especially no reason to collect social security from a dead guy... :smile:

Apparently, being dead doesn't make a lot of difference. I haven't run into anyone who doesn't see dead people.

Do I really have to post a list of things the government does there's no reason for?

:frown: could you tell me if I'm dead? Smurf has got me all worried...

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Didn't mean to take away your last safety net.

Well, if the deathclock doesn't say your time has expired, then you're still alive.

wtf, when i messed around with the things, at first i put in my real data, and i got 2065 or 75 or something, then i wondered what would happen if i entered a 30bmi or whatever, and it said Tuesday, September 4, 2085
so wtf, does it want me to gain 100 pounds or something?

Don't you mean to say, "...sorry aboahwt that..."?

And I don't accept your apology...I was fine in my own little universe until you came along and shattered my illusion... :frown:

You know what that means right? Your breathing through a tube and need a penial implant to get it up.

I expect that I'll be plenty mobile at 90. I recently took a technical call from a mechanic who was celebrating his 93rd birthday. He is still crawling around on machines and turning wrenches. I know people half that age who can no longer do what that guy can. Pretty amazing.
